@TimPhon@lingo.lol @amyfou@lingo.lol One letter for each Proto-Indo-European consonant phoneme (including all three laryngeals), letters as in Ionic Greek with the additions of digamma, san, and qoppa, but with Byzantine cursive letterforms; *PIE short vowels marked with diacritics, long vowels marked with repurposed consonant symbols (cf. Arabic and Hebrew). All spellings to reflect the underlying etymologies; sound changes since then you just have to memorize (as in modern English, French, colloquial Arabic)
